Summary
A new study suggests that higher levels of xylitol, a popular sugar substitute, may increase the risk of serious cardiovascular problems, including heart attacks and strokes. Researchers analyzed more than 17,700 participants across Canadian and European cohorts and found that people with the highest blood xylitol levels faced significantly greater cardiovascular risk. The Canadian group showed a 57% higher risk of death, heart attack, or stroke, while the European group showed an 18% higher risk of major cardiovascular events. Researchers noted that xylitol may increase platelet clotting, but emphasized that the observational study cannot prove causation. They called for further research into its long-term safety.
